Wiederstein Elementary

Summary:

Wiederstein Elementary is a public elementary school in Cibolo, Texas, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Schertz-Cibolo-U City Independent School District (ISD). The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 804 out of 4,260 Texas elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 3,000 out of 4,675 in the 2023-2024 school year, and its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 2 stars during this period.

Wiederstein Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than that of other nearby schools in the Schertz-Cibolo-U City ISD, such as Norma J Paschal Elementary and John A Sippel Elementary, which have higher STAAR test scores and better statewide rankings. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with relatively strong results for African American and White students, but struggles with Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Wiederstein Elementary's per-student spending has increased over the years, but its student-teacher ratio has fluctuated, which may impact the level of individual attention and support students receive.

To address these challenges, Wiederstein Elementary and the Schertz-Cibolo-U City ISD should consider implementing targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and strategies to support the specific needs of underperforming student populations. By focusing on equity and inclusive practices, the school can work towards improving its academic outcomes and providing a high-quality education for all its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
